 **** VIN# II WILL GET OFF OF THE CAR WHEN I GET A CHANCE. I DID NOT HAVE IT HANDY AT TIME OF AD. *********

This is a 1992 Porsche 968 for sale. This is a beautiful car that has been semi-restored. I bought the car to restore over time with my father. Over the years my father and I have restored over 6 antique cars together. We are now two busy with work and need the money and space to expand our growing business. I originally purchased this car in 2007 and it barely made it home. We pulled it into the garage and a short year later she was on the road and passed inspection from the state of New Jersey. I drove the car every day for months and had no problems. It than sat for over 3 years in my garage. In 2011 we moved it to one of our personal storage warehouses. It has been in a climate controlled garage since the day I had it. She is a beautiful driver and the first Porsche I ever had that doesn’t leak or burn oil. She isn’t in show quality yet but she is a perfect candidate for a finished restoration project.

Features I love about this Porsche:

The removable roof. It is like a big sun roof that is not see thru it power tilts up in the back and then can be removed by clips similar to a convertible top. The top can be stored in the hatch and secured down with the cars cargo net. When this top is off it’s like driving a convertible but still a coupe.

If you decided that you wanted to race this car you can simply take the power steering belt off and have stiff steering and not affect the rest of the car.

Standard features

Power windows, breaks, locks, roof and steering. It has AM, FM cassette tape. It also has a car phone but it never worked and I never received the phone part just the holder in the car.  

 

Small issues to be addressed by the new owner:

  • The passenger turn signal lens is broken

  • The grill is broken and allows lower vents to flop around

  • Body molding clips and seals need attention

  • Very small tare in the rear seat on the driver’s side.

  • Rims have lost their luster a little bit. There is no curb marks but could use a buff or possible repaint.

  • There are some racks in the dash cover from age and sun damage

  • Steering wheel shows signs of wear.

  • Carpet is original and a little faded

  • Foldable stock spare tire works and holds air the factory compressor is not in the car. You can buy one on eBay or at AutoZone

Major issues that I would address to finish the car.

  • Paint job needs help. It still has a shine on most of the car. It does have random scratches and chips on the car. I believe most can be buffed out maybe a little wet sand but you will need to do paint work on this car as well.

  • There is a small dent in the top of the passenger front fender approx. the palm of your hand. The metal is not creased so it can probably be pulled no paint work should be needed

  • There is a spider crack in the paint on the driver’s side rear bumper corner

Automakers paying Chinese dealers for lower-than-expected sales

Sat, Jan 10 2015

The Chinese dealers vs. foreign manufacturers story won't quit. It began with a story on the struggles faced by FAW-Toyota joint venture dealers, with supposedly 95 percent of the showrooms losing money, and 10 percent of them doing so poorly that they'd have to exit the business. The problem is mandated sales targets, most set when the country's economy was racing. Now that things have slowed, China's dealers are swimming in unsold cars and the costs to keep them. In the case of FAW-Toyota, dealers asked Toyota to hand over 2.2 billion yuan ($355 million) to help address the situation. That was followed by a report noting the issues that Honda, BMW, and Nissan dealers are having with the same issue, revealing that the Chinese Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) had taken the highly unusual step of writing to the Chinese government to complain. Now Reuters reports that CADA is not only pressing its case even harder, it's being open about it: it announced that BMW agreed to pay dealers 5.1 billion yuan ($820 million) to alleviate poor profits last year. Unnamed sources said Audi has thrown 2 billion yuan into the kitty for subsidies, and Daimler has contributed "about 1 billion yuan" to its dealers. The battle isn't just about 2014, but how business will be run in 2015 as well: Chinese Porsche dealers have requested the automaker lower its 2015 target of 64,000 cars, which would be a 40-percent increase on its 2014 sales of 46,931 vehicles. One analyst called it "shocking" that the CADA has taken its fight public, while CADA comments continue to imply that dealers have been railroaded to the cliff's edge without recourse. "Due to the difference in status," it's deputy secretary said, "individual dealers are not willing to, or don't dare to, talk frankly with the carmakers...." Both parties need one another, so they'll figure out a way to make it work – but that could mean acknowledging the Chinese market is behaving more like a mature one, not an emerging one.

Porsche calls in The Committee for Boxster and Cayman GTS

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

Porsche is set to offer up the very first GTS variants of its more affordable Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes. This is very good news for enthusiasts. Aside from our original post announcing the hotted up models, though, Porsche hasn't given us much to go on.
And you know what? This video isn't much of help either. It's called The Committee, and we're guessing it's meant to highlight the lengths that Porsche went to in designing what are essentially sportier trim levels for its two most affordable entries. Still, it's a stylized and entertaining video with a few entertaining driving scenes scattered throughout, and it gives just a small glimpse of Porsche's view of the vaunted GTS badge.
Take a look below for the full video.

LaFerrari, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Agera R take to Assen

Tue, 10 Jun 2014

It's the show-down (sort of) we've all been waiting for. The battle of the hybrid hypercars from the performance powerhouses of Europe: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. No one publication has managed to get their hands on all three just yet, but this video has - and with a Koenigsegg Agera R thrown in for good measure.
The video was shot by our (unrelated) Dutch compatriots at Autoblog.nl at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. The track has played host to Champ Cars and all manner of racing bikes, but this could be the ultimate grid of actual production machinery that's ever lined up behind its start/finish line. Shame the weather was rainy and this unsurpassed array of supercars weren't really racing - more showing off for the crowds. But what a show it was. Scope out the footage in the video below.
